About the Center
At the Center for Medical Humanities & Ethics, we aspire to transform the practice of medicine. Every patient deserves health care that is not only competent but also empathic and sensitive to cultural and spiritual needs - care that meets the highest standards of ethics and professionalism. Through the Center for Medical Humanities & Ethics, students gain the training and background to achieve this ideal. By giving students the chance to experience ethics in action, the Center answers the challenges facing health care today. Center faculty are preparing tomorrow's healers to act with compassion and justice. The Center for Medical Humanities & Ethics: a voice for compassion in medicine for 10 years.
